A wish for the future of DCS

[FlankerKiller]

With the release of the Apache, and improvement of the Viper Egale Dynamics had come close to completion of a massive undertaking. It wasn't that long ago that one of the biggest criticisms of DCS was that it was a massive sandbox with no clear era simulated. Well that is no more. The mid 2000's are pretty damn well simulated now. I wish we cold get more red air from the time, but at least we have the FC3 birds. Looking back at where we were in say early 2017 it's actually really impressive to see how far it's come. But this is a wish list and I have a wish for where I would like to see it go. 

Now that we have such great modules to fly, I would like to see Egale Dynamics put alot more focus on the end that they fly in. I've made alot of individual wishes here. Better ground force Ai, better infantry, way better ship Ai, better air to air Ai. Yes I want some serious work to be done on the Ai. But I also want to see more flight sim things as well. To be short I want it all. My wish is that Egale Dynamics would shift focus a little bit and work on making DCS the greatest flight simulator, and combat simulator ever available for home PC. I Wish that over the coming few years we will see the same kind of rapid improvement to the core functionality of DCS as we saw the rapid development and availability of new modules over the last few years. Obviously I wish to see those modules finished, and polished, but I think ED has put any concerns about that to bed. They have for me at least, and I've been a pretty outspoken critic for the past year. Now I wish that they would do the same for the program itself. DCS will never be finished as long as it's being supported. And there have been some huge changes since DCS 2.0 released. So my wish is that DCS 3.0 will see the light of day while I'm still young enough to enjoy it. I want to call ATC to get my approach clearance. I want to have to worry about traffic. I want to have to have a divert because whether could deirorate while I'm out trying to affect the dynamic war that's being simulated in the background. I want the Ai tanks I'm hunting to deploy smoke to foil my guided missle shots then book it to the nearest treeline or town to find cover. I want to feel the excitement of having to go hunting them. I want to face an Ai that has a FM similar to my own, and that uses real tactics to be nearly unbeatable because it's an Ace. I want to face an IADS that is acting as an IADS to defeat me. I want to experience as realistic if simulated combat as possible.

Improvements to the game itself is what has kept me coming back since 2009, and it's thise same improvements that will keep me coming back in the future. We have the most comprehensive simulation of U.S. military aviation in the early to mid 2000's ever even dreamed of. Let's give them the most detailed environment to fly and fight in ever seen. That is my wish for DCS.
